British subjects to collect thel
speculative debts, therefore, is a
proceeding which we cannot look upon
with indifference. To convert man-ot-
war into a Sheriff's Office and an Adj
miral into a bailiff who serves an in
Injunction or issues writ OF ejectment
is proceeding which we do not care to
criticise unless we happen to be nation
ally concerned.
Our responsibilities and patriotic
duties, therefore, are correspondingly
great, and we shall save the Americans
of two or three generations hence from
very serious complications if we have
plain understanding with England now
and remind her that we have prior
claim to the Sandwich Islands, and pro-
pose to see that it is respected.

Costumes of the Hindoo Castles.

The way in which to distinguish the de-
voices of Vishnu and SILVA is not difficult,
for men of ViShnu wear on their fOreheadS
mark similar to this A, while those of
SILVA carry in the center of their fore
heads a round sandal wood dot, which is
used by Hindostan women for the same
purpose as are the tiny black sticking
plaster dots upon the fair faces of our
ladies, called beauty spots The Wish
nuites and Shivites also carry a distinc-
ton in their names The former take the
af1x *'Iengar' to their names, while the
latter have eyer Not alone this, the
characters of the two are also different.
Iengars, it is declared, are self sufficient
race, and are noted for their cunning,
while the Iyers are said to be humber,
more ingenious and more scholarly in
clined.
AS the Women's names are never known
to the outside world, and as they carry no
distinguishing marks on their faces, they
are known by their dress. A woman of
the Vishnu caste wears the folds of her
paijama tight across her knees, and thus
displays a shapely calf, which may be
envied by any woman, though it be hid
den by the petticoat. The SILVA woman,
on the contrary, has loose fold hanging
on the side of her right leg, below the
knee The material from which her gar
ment is made is of a silky texture, yell
lowish and red; it is but a single sheet,
and forms the entire wardrobe Of noble
Brahmin lady, though her possessions
may be vast, her jewels the envy of many
an European royal family, and her de-
scent more illustrious and more ancient
than that of any of the crowned heads of
Europe Foreign Letter.

An Ideal Portrait,

The tendency Of people to associate ideal
portraits with persons whom they have
seen struck me in hearing the remarks of
spectators of painting in a fremont street
window Here has been displayed during
the week picture of an emaciated indi-
vidual bending over an ancient book, his
bleary eyes and cadaverous visage sug-
costing absorption in the pursuit which
left him no time for attention to his per-
sonaI appearance. Leaning on his elbow,
with his gaze upturned, this curious figure
might serve as pictorial warning against
the abuse of study and reflection, and yet
it's superficial resemblance to familiar
character Oh the stage led a number of
well dressed persons to mistake it for
portrait of Henry Irving CHATS the
way he studies up those thrilling parts of
his, - 1 heard one of them say, and as there
was no dissent from the remark it evil
IDENTIFY conveyed the impression of the
knot of sidewalk critics. Post.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.

The New York "Herald" of Septem-
Der IA in an editorial says:
The rumors from and in connection
with the Sandwich Islands are calcu-
lated to throw patriotic Americans into
a brown study.
The Hawaiian Government, which has
been trying to walk on stills a long
time, and is in more or less danger Of
getting bad fall, is indebted to British
capitalists to the tune of a couple of
million pounds sterling. These British
capitalists were well aware that the Sc
curity for their money was not gilt
edged, but they made the loan with the
expectation OF getting large percentage
of interest, and have now discovered
that their speculation was poor one.
Now they see that their security is
growing beautifully less, they refuse to
pocket the probable loss on their specu-
lation AMI appeal to their Consul He
naturally enough protests against repu-
diation. That is all very well, and we
should be glad to hear that this protest
has brought the Government to it's
senses, and that his countrymen will
not lose on their always shaky invest
ment. Governments should pay their
bills just as private individuals do. Re-
pudiation is a mean and contemplate
method by which to wipe out an obliga-
ton. When, however, man with his
eyes open puts his spare cash into hole
without first ascertaining whether there
is any bottom to it he ought not to make
much fuss if it drops through and he
never sees it again.
Well, the British Consul at Hawaii
not only protested but threatened to
summon squadron from the islands
lying to the southwest and compel the
payment OF the debt by means of gum
powder and canon balls. 1t is even re-
ported that the squadron of the British
Government has weighed anchor and is
on its way to the Sandwich Islands to
collect by force the moneys owed to
English investors.
Just there the affair assumes a serious
aspect for Americans. England may do
what she pleases with her own colonies,
but when she peaches on our preserves
or imperils our interests, that is quite
different matter. The Sandwich Islands
do not belong to the British Empire,
and if the United States does its duty
to itself they never will To send
imperial ironclads to Hawaii to assist

A GERMAN paper published in Chi
caco, referring to Samoan affairs, asserts
that it was known long time ago that
Malietoa had been secretly instigated by
the American Consul to GUST the Ger
man proprietors of plantations. An
other German paper maintains that the
sole object of the German action was to
punish Malietoa for the robberies perpe-
trated against German colonists The
treaty with England and America will
be maintained, but Malietoa will be

RinneY,s Valuable Find.

Louis Banding says the generally ac>
cepted statement that the largest nugget
ever found in California was worth a
little more than S21, 1000 is an erroneous
one. He says that j. J. Finney, sOld
Virginia, y found piece of gold about
six miles from Downieyille, Sierra county.
on Aug. 81, 1866, that weighed 5000
ounces. The gold of that vicinity was
worth $18 per ounce, which would make
the value of the nugget 800, 1000. This
would make the Finney nugget the largest
piece of pure gold ever discovered, so far
as accounts go. Heretofore the Austria
liam nugget, found in the Ballarat gold
fields, has been considered the largest. 1t
was valued at 500, 900. Finney, or ..Old
Virginia, - as he was familiarly called in
those days, afterward went to Washoe
when the great silver discoveries were
made there, and from him the town Of
Virginia City took its name. The man
who discovered the largest nugget in
California and gave his name to the rich
est mining camp in the world died in ex-
treme overty.-Grass Valley Union.

Too Much Trouble to Bother.

One of the saddest facts in connection
with the lives of the people of America
is that they ''don't want to bother.
That is to say, they don't want to spare
time enough for anything but money
making and amusement. The house
which nature has provided is neglected
in order co save enough money to put
into house. which has been built with
hands. Sleep is neglected so that per-
sonal appearance may be made at some
social gathering. Digestion is disturbed
because there is no time to be spared so
that the machinery of the body may have
a chance to perform its work Bathing
is neglected because, for lack of a more
forcible reason, such and such men and
women have lived to old age without it.
''Too much trouble to bother when
the body does not cry aloud for attention.
When it does it is too late. The man
whose teeth do not trouble him would
look upon it as a prOdigal waste of time
to go to a dentist and have them cleaned.
He has a brush and powder, and these
suffice, he thinks, for all that is required.
He doesn't know that the hard substance
which forms around his teeth is tartar,
and that the teeth are in danger of per-
manent injury when it is permitted tc
remain. Because sit is too much trouble
to bother" the house of clay which
might be made to grow in beauty"

In another column we publish an
article from the London Spectator, :"
which deals somewhat extensively
with the relations existing between
France and Germany. When SO high
an authority regards war between
those powers sooner or later as an event
which is more likely to happen than to
be averted, the warning is one which
should not be ignored by that large
section of mankind whom such a war
would affect either directly or indirectly.

A New YORK newspaper recently
made the statement that in the Argen-
tine Republic women were employed to
sweep the streets. The result has been

report, and intimating that if the author

the women would clean the streets just
once-using the slanderer for mop.
